Author's notes: I got a review asking who the blonde guy was.. He comes in again in this chapter, but he was Zechs! I tried so hard to describe his stereotypical platinum blonde hair etc, but since Duo etc hadn't MET Zechs yet, I didn't wanna name him! Hope I cleared up that for yas! Okay this chapter is going on a wee bit of a tangent.. I want to introduce a few more characters from the show. There' s still heaps more to go in this story, so please, bear with me. A big twist is coming up next chapter! Weeee!
I got exams now, so the next chapter might not be for a few weeks, okay? Anywho, here's the new chapter! Don't forget to review! Im loving all your reviews! Keep 'em coming!

Ch5: Women

"Oh fuck me," I commented to myself. We were both lying naked on the number of desks that had been pushed together. I was exhausted after our most recent sexual session. It was just so.. hot! I'd felt so loved and worshipped. Duo went down on me, teasing me, making me wild with frustration. He then rode me hard and fast, and it was the best sex I think I'd ever had.

I lay on my back, too tired to move, as Duo lay on his side with his leg wrapped over mine. His hand ran up and down my stomach and his head rested on my shoulder. It felt so good, just laying there with him. He didn't run off after sex, like he had the last two times. Maybe he's taking this relationship more seriously now?

"I thought I just did," Duo teased. "But if you're up for another go, you're gonna have to wait until I recharge."

I smiled. I had achieved after-sex-conversations with Duo. He seemed to be opening up and it only made my moments with him all the more enjoyable.

"Maybe later," I replied. I don't know how Duo managed to score the video room we were always in. Although there was a lock on the door, no one ever disturbed us by trying to come in and use the room. And I doubt he booked the room before hand because we'd been having sex quite spontaneously. I'm not complaining though! The sex is good and after today, the sex was great

"You got class now?" Duo asked.

Insert groan here! "Yeah in about half an hour," I replied. Even though I do plan to skip class and just go home and shower because no doubt one could smell the sex all over me! "You?" I asked back.

I looked at Duo but all I could see was the top of his head as his head lay on my shoulder. It felt so good to have some one to hold again. I never wanted this to end. "Yeah, in about two hours," Duo replied. "But I gotta find something to do while I wait." Duo lifted his head off my shoulder and smiled cheekily at me. He's got such a great smile. I love it when he does that!

"Well, I'm sorry, but you're just gonna have to play with yourself.. I mean by yourself while you wait for class," I replied in a matter-of-fact voice. Gotta play hard to get. Don't wanna come across as too easy! Then again I did sleep with him before I even knew him... so I think I am easy..

Duo smiled back. Then he pouted, pretending to be sad. He looked like he was about to reply with something to pretend to make me feel bad, but suddenly, Duo's mobile phone rang. It was obviously Duo's because that ring tone was definitely not mine. I wouldn't be csaught dead with that stupid crazy frog ringtone!

Duo got up off me and I wished he hadn't. I'd gone from 'great after-sex cuddles' to 'lying naked and exposed by myself on a table'. I held myself up on my elbows and watched as his tall, lean naked body made its way to the pile of clothes in the corner of the room. I could watch him all day with that ass! He fished out his phone and checked the screen to see who was calling.

"Shit!" He groaned. Duo turned to me and put his index finger to his lips to tell me to stay quiet while he answered the phone. "Hi Hilde!" Duo greeted cheerfully. I could tell it was a fake cheeriness. His voice may have come across as all happy and dandy, but his eyes said otherwise. He was putting up a front for Hilde and I didn't know why.

"No, no. I didn't forget," Duo said. "I'm studying with a friend… No, no. I'll meet you… In about ten minutes… okay, bye…" I got up as Duo hung up the phone. He had a sheepish look on his face. "I forgot that I had promised to meet Hilde for lunch today," He explained.

I smiled at the cheeky thing I was about to say. "Did you tell her that you were preoccupied with other things?"

Duo smiled back. "I shoud've." Then he grinned that grin that people give when they think of something funny but just haven't told anyone yet. It was one of the most beautiful smiles I'd ever seen. It was a real smile and not put on. "I should've told her that I forgot because I was making my friend cum in extacy in the library," Duo joked as he walked over to me. He put his hands on my naked hips and pulled me against him. Our stomachs pressed together and the feeling of our dicks rubbing against each other made me start to go hard again. Duo smiled cheekily, as he no doubt could feel me against his leg. "Easy, tiger," he joked. "You've got class now and I've got an angry woman to meet up with."

Duo was only taller than me by about an inch or two. I looked up at him. God, his eyes are beautiful! I brought my hand up to his face and brushed his bangs aside. For a split second, I could see into his beautiful eyes without any barriers. They were such a deep shade of blue, that they were almost a violet colour. Then his bangs fell back in front of his face. Duo was still holding my hips, but we weren't pressing against each other anymore. I stepped closer to him, bringing our bodies together again. I lifted myself up onto the balls of my feet so that I was eye level with the taller American. He's so hott! I hope he's here to stay! I'd love to be able to look at him all day, everyday. I leaned forward and kissed him. It was just a peck on the lips, but that was all I wanted to give him right then. It was as if I felt that touching his face for too long might change it. Like touching wet clay, where once you touch it, you leave your mark on it. I wanted his face to stay beautiful. I wanted him to want to be for me only.

"What was that?" Duo smiled, pretending to look confused.

"A kiss," I replied sheepishly. Have I don't something stupid and not known it?

"That was a kiss?" He asked as if I had no idea what a kiss was.

"Only a little one," I replied, bringing my finger and thumb close together to indicate smallness.

"If we didn't both have places to be, then I'd show you what a real kiss should be like," Duo explained. His face radiated of confidence. Confidence is such a turn on. Teach me, oh wise one! Kiss me, hold me, fuck me!

He then let go of my hips and made his way back to the clothes in the corner to get dressed. I felt cold and exposed now that his body had left mine, but we really did have places to be, so I got dressed too.

------------------------

After Duo and I left the library, I headed home. I know I told Duo I'd be going to class, but I think I stink of sex, so I don't want to risk anyone smelling it when I get to class. I had my shower and then sat at my computer to check my emails. Quatre and Wufei were online. Before I had a chance to click on Quatre or Wufei, they'd added me to their convo.

Arabian Prince says:
Hey Heero!

Wufei:
Hey

Zero to Heero:
Hey guys. What's going on?

Arabian Prince:
nudda. Wufei and I were just talking about what to do this weekend. But we'll wait until Trowa comes online. He said he'd be on in about 10. But since you just came on, did you see Duo today?

Wufei:
did you tell him to where to stick it?

Zero to Heero:
yeah I saw him today..

Arabian Prince:
AND?

Zero to Heero:
And.. we kinda.. got together again! And before you guys yell at me, I think he's changed for the better! We hugged afterwards and actually had conversations.

Wufei:
I thought you didn't like him. He refused to give you his number!

Zero to Heero:
Yeah well.. why'd you have to bring that up for! Maybe he doesn't want me ringing him because..

Then I was stuck. I had no idea why Duo wouldn't want me to call him. It's not like he had parents that might answer the phone or anything. He had housemates. I didn't think he'd be afraid of what his housemates thought of people calling for Duo. It didn't make any sense. And so I typed;

..maybe his housemates don't know he's gay?

Wufei:
Maybe that blonde guy we saw is his boyfriend?

Arabian Prince:
That's not funny… hmm.. you might have to look into it, Heero

Wufei:
And ask that Hilde girl if she has a boyfriend.

Zero to Heero:
Why? You think she'll wanna date you? Quat, I'll look into why he doesn't want to give me his number.. Okay, change of subject- what are we doing tonight?

Quatre:
Well, Trowa should be online soon. Do you guys remember my college friend Relena? Well it's her 18th b'day tonight. Do you guys wanna come as my guests?

Wufei:
is she that rich girl who always talks like she's the queen of the world?

Quatre:
yeah..

Wufei:
I hate that girl!

Zero to Heero:
HAHAHA! Don't be a prude, Fei. Yes, Quat, we'll come!

---------------------------------------

Okay, now the first thing Quatre should have told us was that it was going to be a formal party. Poor Wufei and I rocked up in jeans and nice shirts, but everyone else was in formal dresses and tuxedos! Quatre wore a tux with a baby pink shirt. Stupid sod.

It was getting mighty awkward for Wufei and I because we felt seriously under dressed. Quatre had left us and went to go say hi to some of his friends from college. I looked around. Most of the guests were our age, but there were a handful of old men in what looked like military unifroms and a few in suits. Man! Do I feel underdressed or what!

I looked at Trowa. He wore suit pants with a white shirt that had black squiggles on the left shoulder that ran halfway down the back of the shirt. The first three buttons were unbuttoned, exposing his neck and collarbone. If only he wasn't such a man-whore!

"How did you know to dress up?" I asked him grouchily.

Trowa looked down at me and smiled. "Relena's filthy rich. When rich people have parties, they're always formal ones," he explained.

Wufei crossed his arms and frowned. "Yeah well, Quatre's rich but he doesn't have formal parties!"

Trowa laughed. "He does, but we're just not invited to them."

Wufei and I stared at Trowa with shocked faces. Quatre doesn't invite us to them! Why? We're his friends! How could he! "Why wouldn't he invite us?" I asked, hurt that my best friend wouldn't invite us to such a formal occasion!

"Trust me, he's doing you a favour!" Trowa explained. Eh? He's doing us a favour! "He invited me once a few years ago but those parties are all organised by his dad and the party was full of rich, boring businessmen. You guys wouldn't have liked it. I was bored out of my skull!" Trowa explained. "I told him it wasn't really my, or our scene, so he never invited us again."

I loosened up a little. Okay, Quatre is forgiven. "But then why didn you tell us that it was formal dress when we were all in the car?"

Trowa quickly replied, "Because we were running late and Quatre wouldn't have turned the car around to let you guys get changed!" Then he quickly began to skull his champagne as if it was the only thing he could hide behind to get away from Wufei and my pissed off-ness!

Wufei was probably more pissed off then me that he was underdressed, because he replied grouchily, "Yeah, well now I feel more like the help and less like a guest, here!"

I put my hand on Wufei's shoulder in an attempt to quiet him. "Look, no one will even notice!" I explained to him. Just my luck, just as I said it, a waiter walked past with a tray of.. some rich food and snikkered at our clothing as he walked past. Great. Just great! Even the help is laughing at us! I notced Trowa quickly walked off before Wufei had a chance to say anything else to him.

"Let's go, Yuy," Wufei gumbled. "We're going to be laughed at if we stay here and I wouldn't mind keeping a little dignity."

I sighed. "Fine. But let's go and tell Quatre that we're leaving at least," I explained. Wufei nodded and we headed upto Quatre who was at the far side of the room with his collge friends. When we reached Quatre, I tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and smiled at Wufei and I.

"Oh, hey! Let me introduce you guys to Relena!" He said cheerfully, totally oblivious to the fact that I wanted to tell him we actually planned on leaving. Quatre pointed to a girl with a dark blue dress on. Her hair was pulled back by a braid on each side of her head. "This is Relena Peacecraft."

Relena held her hand out and I didn't know whether I had to shake it or kiss it! So I kinda just held it and nodded my head. God! I feel like an idiot! Can't wait to get outa here! "And these are my friends Heero and Wufei," Quatre intriduced, now pointng at us. After we said our hello's, Wufei then told Quatre how we want to go. I was listening to Quatre protest and tell us to stay. But in the corner of my eye, I could see Relena looking at me. I turned my attentions to her and she was staring at me funny. The only way to describe it was the way Trowa looks when he's had one too many beers; All google-eyed.

I tried to ignore her and turned back to Quatre and Wufei, who by now had negotiated that Wufei and I were allowed to go home and dress more formally, then come back and die of utter boredom! Relena must've been listening in because she took a step towards us as Wufei and I were about to walk off and said, "You're definitely coming back, aren't you?"

Why was this rich bitch insitant on us coming back? She doesn't even know us! Wufei groaned as he answered the question with a "Yes". It was only then that Wufei and I actually had a chance to leave. It was about 8pm when we left. Yes, rich people's parties start way too early! And we took our time coming back. It was close to 10:30pm by the time we got back. I felt better now at least. I put on my nice black suit pants and my green shirt with black pinstripe running through it.

Most of the old fogies had left by the time we got back and it was mostly just people that were my age left. I looked around the room and found Trowa in the corner chatting to a group of girls who seemed to be swooning all around him. How on Earth does that guy manage to rope in both girls and guys! I'd only ever seen Trowa pick up guys, but I had no doubt his pendulum swung both ways.

"There's Quatre," Wufei said as he pointed across the room. Quatre was now on the far right of the room, still with Relena and a few other girls. I nodded and Wufei and I made our way across the room towards Quatre.

"Oh, hey! You guys took ages getting back!" Quatre squealed. Yep! Someone's been into the champagne!

"Yeah. What did we miss?" Wufei asked, looking around the room. He was sussing out the crowed. Most likely to see if there are any good-looking girls. He didn't really care about Quatre's reply and neither did I, really. What interesting things could happen at a party this formal, dignified and -let's face it- boring?

That Relena girl took a step closer to me and smiled. "You missed me cutting the cake," She explained. Whoopdie-fucking-doo. "Do you still want a slice? The cake was so big, there's still quite a few pieces left over," She explained.

Why is she giving me that google-eyed look again? Is there something wrong with her? Well cake does sound nice..
"Yeah, sounds nice," I smiled back at her. I thought she was going to get one of her many butlers or waiters to get some cake for her, but I wasn't expecting her to reach out and take my hand.

"Come on," She smiled. "The kitchen is this way," She then pulled me away from the group and towards the far left corner of the room, where the entrance to the kitchen was. I looked back at Wufei and Quatre. Wufei had a confused look on his face, no doubt matching the confused look on my own. Quatre was giggling at the sight of Relena pulling me away. What the hell is he giggling at? This situation isn't giggle worthy.. he MUST know something I don't!

Finally, we walked into the kitchen and Relena pulled me through the crowd of chefs and waiters. She pulled me to a bench where the remains of a large, white rectangular cake used to be. I could only tell that it used to be rectangular because of the outline the cream that had been left behind on the foil-covered tray. Relena got two small white plates and I watched as she put a slice of cake on each. I thought that one slice was going to be for Wufei, but then after Relena handed me my piece of white chocolate cake, she started to eat the second slice. Why aren't we going back to the party? And why is she eating Wufei's cake!

"So, how do you know Quatre, Heero?" Relena asked casually as she sliced at the corner of the cake with her fork.

"We were friends at high school," I explained.

"Hmm. I'm surprised he hasn't brought you to my parties before. If you didn't have to go home earlier, I'm sure you would have had a great time here. Most of the guests have left now," She explained.

Honestly, like I give a shit. If Trowa thought that one of Quatre's parties was boring, most likely I'd find one of Relena's parties boring. Then it hit. Oh my God! She's chatting me up! No wonder Quatre was giggling! Relena likes me.. Oh that is so gross! Why didn't Quatre tell her I'm gay!

Suddenly I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to say anything that might give her any hint that I might like her. It would have been easier to just say those magic three words 'I AM GAY', but then again I wasn't 100 sure she was trying to pick me up! Maybe she's just trying to be nice?

"Oh well," I said nervously. "Maybe next time," I replied. Why did I just say that? I don't want to come back again! One, it's a formal boring party with rich kids. Two, Relena likes me!

"Hey, Relena! I've been looking all over for you," I heard a deep male voice say. It was coming from right behind me. I didn't recognise it so I turned around to see who it was.

Whoah! What the?

Walking towards us was the blonde guy I saw at Duo's house when we were staking him out! Granted, he did look better up close and he was dressed in a nice white suit with a blue shirt. But how could he possibly know Relena? He was walking up to Relen and I.

"What is it, Milliardo?" Relena replied. By now the good-looking blonde guy had reached us. He was a lot taller than me. A good 6 and a half feet tall.

"I just wanted to tell you I'm heading off now," he explained. His voice was so deep and dignified! He came across as rich too, but then why would he be living with Duo if he was filthy rich?

"No, stay!" Relena complained, putting her cake down on the bench beside her. "The party hasn't finished yet!"

"Sorry, but I've got somewhere else I have to be," He explained. Then the tall blonde looked at me. Oh shit! I hope he doesn't recognise me! ..How could he recognise me? He hasn't seen me before! I've seen him, but not the other way around.. I think!

He smiled at me and held out his hand for me to shake it. "Sorry, we haven't been introduced. I'm Zechs Peacecraft, Relena's sister," He explained.

I took his hand and shook it. "Heero Yuy." I introduced myself. "But didn't Relena just call you 'Milliardo'?"

"Only my family calls me that. I prefer to be called 'Zechs'," He explained. I nodded. He then looked at me like he was trying to remember something. "Heero.. That name sounds familiar.."

Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!

"Do you know Duo Maxwell?" He asked. I nodded. "I thought I'd heard that name before! Duo mentioned that he had a new study partner for his Commercial Law subject at college," Zechs explained.

So that means that Duo hasn't told them that he's gay. He lied and told them I'm his study partner!

"He was here earlier on with Hilde, but they left only about half an hour ago. You must've just missed him," Zechs explained.

Duo was here? I can't believe I just missed him! I wonder if Quatre or Trowa realised he was here. I doubt Trowa did, with all those girls all over him. Quatre might have.. I'll have to ask him about that later.

"Darn," I replied. "I'll see him at school next week anyway. So, how do you know Duo?" I asked as if I didn't know they were really housemates.

"We're housemates," He explained. No duh! "We met through another friend, Hilde, who used to work here," he explained. Well now at least I know how they all know each other.

"Oh," I replied. I didn't know how to answer to that.

Zechs then turned back to Relena. "I'm going to be late. Happy Birthday, and I'll see you tomorrow," He explained and he then kissed Relena on the forehead.

Zechs then turned to me, and said something that I never expected, "Do you want to come? I'm meeting up with Duo and Hilde now."

Oh it sounded like such a fine offer, but I didn't want to ditch my friends. Actually, I think I was a bit nervous to be out with Duo and his friends. I didn't really know his friends all that well, and if Duo didn't tell them we were sleeping together, I wouldn't know how to act around him.

"Sorry. I'm going to have to pass. I don't want to ditch my friends. Maybe next time," I replied.

Zechs nodded. "Fair enough. I'll tell Duo you said hi. Nice meeting you, Heero," he replied before walking off.

After Zechs exited the kitchen, I looked back at Relena. "Should we be heading back?"

Relena nodded, but she looked a little dissapointed. Don't know why she looks dissapointed. What did she think we're on, a date? She better keep her paws off me! I wanted to talk to Quatre, and pronto!

As we left the kitchen, I felt Relena's white-gloved hand wrap around my own. She was trying to hold my hand! What the fuck? We talked for two minutes and she's trying to hold my hand! Maybe it's a rich peoples thing? I gotta get her the fuck off me!

Unfortunately, I couldn't pry her hand off mine before Quatre, Wufei and the rest of Relena's squad could see us. Wufei looked freaked out, Quatre looked like he was about to burst out into laughter and Relena's bimbo squad had google eyed looks, like we'd just gotten married or something! As soon as Relena and I reached the group, I unhinged her fingers from my hand and walked right over to Wufei and Quatre.

"Let's get the fuck outa here!" I grumbled, but only low enough for the two of them to hear.

"Why, Heero?" Quatre smiled. I'm gonna smack that smile off his face in a minute! "Aren't you and Relena having a good time?"

I glared at him and it shut him up good. I've been told that my glares tend to have that effect on people. Comes in handy sometimes when I can't be stuffed arguing with someone.

Wufei went and got Trowa and told him we were leaving. I could practically hear the protests from the girls that were swooning all over him as Wufei dragged Trowa away.

And so, we said out goodbyes and began walking towards the door.

"Wait, wait! I'll walk you out!" Relena squealed. Fuck'n hell! Won't this girl leave me alone?

We reached the large steps at the front door and the others began their massive treck down the largest staircase I'd ever seen at the entrance to a mansion. I would have joined the boys but I felt someone's hands grab my arm. Kill me now! ..No No! Kill her now!

"Good bye, Heero," Relena said softly. Oh man, she sounds like she's in some cheesy romantic movie! "I hope we meet again soon." Argh! Get her OFF me! Then, before I realised, Relena planted a kiss on my lips. Ah! This is so gross!

I was too stunned to move. I stood motionless until she removed her lips from my face and I tried so hard not to throw up. "Nice meeting you too," I tried to say nicely. "Bye," I said quickly as I ran down that huge-ass staircase as fast as I could. It didn't help my situation when I heard Quatre, Trowa and Wufei whistling, laughing and 'ooh-ing' at the move Relena pulled. I quickly hopped in the back next to Trowa and hunched as low as I could.

"Shut up, guys. It's not funny!" I growled.

"Yuy," Wufei laughed. "That is one of the funniest things I've seen all week!"

Great. Just great. Well this is one place I plan on never coming back to EVER AGAIN!
